Congratulations to Ingvild Lund Tyvoll from Norway and Vera Schöning from Germany!

Ingvild chose a light and airy dress from our Bohemian collection that she purchased at Diin Brud og Delskap in Oslo, Norway. She shared her dress buying experience with us: “I got married in a ladybird dress Oktober 7th 2017, exactly 1 year after finding my dream dress at Diin Brud og Selskap in Oslo! The service was wonderful and Marit, the consultant, understood exactly what I wanted. I looove all the details and how it felt so different from all the other dresses and how the two length in the front gave me the bohemian feeling and it instantly felt like THE dress!”

“I feel the dress helped set the mood for the whole wedding. Flowing, magical, relaxed, happy and free. I styled it with a flower crown, long veil and a bohemian natural bouquet that together with the dress made me feel like a greek goddess- so much more than I could ever wish for. The fit was perfect and I danced the night away!”

“Thank you so much for designing my dream dress without knowing me. I really fell in love with the dress the first time I put it on and I am actually feeling a little heartbroken not being able to use it every day! I just can’t wait until our 5 or 10 years anniversary so I can wear It again.”

German bride Vera Schöning opted for a classic A-line dress with delicate straps, a slight sweetheart-neckline and a beautiful back with lacey flower applications.

“I purchased my Ladybird dress at Modehaus Havekost in Bremen, a well-established store that has been selling evening wear and bridal gowns for more than 60 years which makes it one of the leading professionals in the industry. We were cordially received and everything was prepared perfectly. My personal consultant asked for my wishes and expectations and provided me with a selection of dresses.”

“And there was the moment. This dress felt different than anything I had tried on before. I stepped out of the dressing room and I knew instantly “This is my dress!”. I said yes to the dress, we cheered with a glass of champagne and then I was ready for a tradition that is special at Modehaus Havekost: Ring a bell in the store.” A special moment that closed the deal.

“The dress offers everything I asked for: delicate lace, straps, a sweetheart-neckline, a tattoo-style back and buttons. Add some glittery sequins, soft tulle and a wide skirt! And it was as practical as a bridal dress can be: The sewn-in corsage with an extra strap on the inside delivered a secure feeling and the skirt didn`t need an extra crinoline. I was able to move but nevertheless had a “real” bridal gown. I call this my “princess-light-look”. I felt very comfortable in the soft fabric.”

“When I look at pictures from our wedding today I am very happy. Obviously about the man that I married and the happiness that we share but also about the beautiful day that I had, wearing this specific gown.”
